ORDER ADOPTING AMENDMENTS

The Oregon State Bar Board of Bar Examiners has proposed amending Rule for
Admission of Attorneys 7.05, relating to applicants for admission under the house counsel rule
taking the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam. The Board of Bar Examiners has
proposed to change the rule to require that an applicant under the house counsel rule have passed
the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam within 13 months as opposed to the current 24
month requirement. The matter came before the court at its public meeting of October 10, 2006,
at which time the court approved the proposed amendment.

Rule for Admission 7.05 as amended is set out on the attached page with new text shown
in bold print and deleted text shown in italic print, bracketed, and lined through.

Rule for Admission 7.05 as amended by this order shall become effective immediately.

Dated this 3rd day of November, 2006.
